That's a good question. The WELL is currently owned by Salon, but it's members are negotiating its purchase: http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2012/07/will-the-well-survive-members-pledge-to-buy-from-salon.html The WELL has actually continued to serve an active, though somewhat smaller, community of users. Inkwell.vue, the WELL forum where we're having the discussion, is world-readable and has high traffic because we interview a lot of high-profile authors (like Bruce) there. Bruce didn't mention it, but you can send comments or questions via a link in the footer.
